Untitled is a 1961 ink by Horst Antes, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white image shows a person sitting with their head tilted down, hands clasped in front of them. The drawing is rough, with quick, sketchy lines that make the figure look a little stiff. The background is plain and dark, so the white figure stands out sharply. The artist used a printing method called lithography, where the image is drawn on a flat stone or plate. This style feels more like a fast sketch than a polished drawing. Look up lithography to see how it works and why it creates this kind of look.
